Communities of color have historical reasons to distrust banks. In California, 20% of Black, 15% of Hispanic, and 18% of American Indian households are unbanked. Yet with the right financial tools, entrepreneurship can break cycles of poverty and build generational wealth. We are bringing these tools to historically excluded entrepreneurs by granting approval authority to organizations already working in these neighborhoods. We are leveraging its greatest resource: Community.
